paul ryan is still a congressman, still has to make a living, so today, he tried out the paul ryan budget again as if the country never voted on it at all. it is almost exactly the same budget that the republicans ran on a few months ago when they lost. the new version kills medicare more than medicare, but it is the same idea. just like the old paul ryan budget, the new one comes with giant tax cuts for the richest people in the country and just like last time, mr. ryan does not say how the government would make up for the trillions in lost revenue. trust him, it's magic. just slash spending and cut tacks and somehow, it all works out. remember how mitt romney got pilloried for this for refusing to say how his tax plan would work? do you remember the website that mocked the romney ryan trust us plan with the button get the details that you just chased all over the screen. do you remember that mitt romney and paul ryan lost because americans voted against them and their no details, we'll tell you later, kill medicare plan for the country? bringing back the plan seals like a weird way to r

paul ryan is now in position to say we have a plan. it may be incoherent, may not add up, but we have a plan for balancing the budget in ten years. democrats, what's your plan for balancing the budget? it is now incumbent on the president and democrats and the president started, needs to keep hammering this home, to say balancing the budget is not necessarily good. in fact, in an economy like today, it is bad to balance the budget. that's not an appropriate public goal. what we should be worrying about instead are jobs and wages, widening equality. what we need is growth. if we don't get that, all of this budget balancing nonsense is irrelevant. >> jared, there's some dispute, the ryan team seems to be back pedaling on the question of are the obama health care taxes really in their budget or not? they're definitely there when you look at the revenue assumptions that they have, they seem to be claiming that no, no, i think we would get rid of tanning salon tax also. >> i actually believe them on that. i believe that in repealing obama c

that seems to be the main focus of the paul ryan budget. i think medicare, reshaping the expectations of that, he even calls it a medicare exchange. it seems like we could pull paul a little bit closer to what we are thinking with regards to medicare for all. i think there is tremendous opportunities to craft some things. it depends on whether or not people are going to be dug in. i do think that the republicans need to do a little bit more than we do. we do have the presidency and one house. our democracy was not designed for the minority to be like a brat and rave and rant and not -- until they can't have their way. when i look at the schedule of congress i realize the republicans are just trying to run the clock out on this president's term. you come in. you do three votes in a day. one is on approving the journal. the other is on a motion to adjourn. and the other is on some congratulating a basketball team. we are going to run out of post offices to name before we destroy the postal service. host: independent line, this is william. go

speaker, the house republican budget unveiled yesterday by chairman paul ryan is the repeat of the same tea party principles that have already been rejected by the american people. house republicans are once again determined to place the burden of deficit reduction on the backs of middle-class families while the wealthiest americans get yet another tax break. after wasting valuable time last congress, voting more than 30 times to repeal health care reform rather than focus on jobs and the economy, the republican budget again calls for its repeal. in addition, their budget ends medicare as we know it, and surprise, surprise, turning it into a voucher program that reduces benefits and leaves seniors paying higher out-of-pocket costs. while this budget blueprint is still lacking in specific details, it is clear that in order to meet the spending targets it outlines, house republicans will slash investments in key areas that are essential to economic growth and job creation, education, job training, science and research will all be on the chopping block in order to reduce the deficit with l
